Vision: “Things don't have to be stationary anymore… it's a combination of augmented reality and screens.” Data Visualization & Community (23:19 - 25:51) Plotaverse supports photographers, videographers, and data artists, amplifying innovative work like oceanographic visualizations.

Serve First: Find one way to create value for someone in your field (e.g., share a resource). Track outcomes over two weeks. Build Systems: Audit your projects. Tweak one process to give your team or clients more control, testing it in a one-week sprint.

In this inspiring episode of the TCAS Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Troy Plota to explore his incredible journey—from being kicked out of his home at 17 to building a multi-million-dollar digital empire. Troy shares pivotal moments in his career, his transition from traditional photography to AI-driven innovation, and how a negative experience with Apple fueled the creation of Plotaverse. The conversation dives deep into the role of AI in art, its risks and opportunities, and how Plotaverse is revolutionizing the creative landscape by putting artists first. Key Moments & Topics Troy's Origin Story (00:01 - 03:24) Troy reflects on his early life as a “surf rat” in Florida, where his passion for photography began despite his father's skepticism about it as a career. At 17, he left home with just a camera, kickstarting a lifelong journey as a fashion, advertising, and celebrity photographer. A pivotal move to Miami and later Atlanta set the stage for his big break in the industry. Key Quote: “I just picked up my camera and I've never had another job ever since.” Breaking into the Big Leagues (01:22 - 03:24) Troy recounts how he landed his first major opportunity by organizing portfolios for a modeling agency in Atlanta, leading to paid shoots and exposure to high-profile clients. His work gained traction, eventually landing him features in GQ and a groundbreaking digital billboard in Times Square—the first shot with a digital camera. Jason's Insight: “You came in and started serving right off the bat… creating a ton of value.” AI and the Future of Creativity (04:12 - 06:02) Troy embraces AI as a “miracle” for creators, drawing parallels to the shift from film to digital photography. He argues that AI enhances rather than diminishes human creativity, offering tools to bring stills to life and create films that were once impossible. Currently collaborating with Ellen von Unwerth, Troy sees AI as a way to stay ahead of the curve. Key Quote: “If you don't embrace this, you're going to be left behind.” The Apple Betrayal and Plotaverse's Birth (06:55 - 09:42) Troy shares a challenging moment when Apple promoted his Plotograph app for the iPhone X launch, only to lowball him with an offer and fail to deliver promised exposure after a $6 million giveaway. A competitor replicated his app, raking in hundreds of millions, but Troy turned the setback into motivation, building Plotaverse—a social platform for artists. Positive Outcome: Plotaverse became the world's first all-AI social platform, fueled by Troy's resilience and vision. Jason's Take: “This is age-old—making a profit off an artist… there's always this boogeyman behind them.” Plotaverse: Empowering Artists (10:16 - 15:18) Troy introduces Plotaverse as a customizable, artist-first platform where creators control their portfolios without algorithmic interference. Features include pixel-shifting patents to authenticate work, multiple collections for diverse styles, and upcoming monetization tools. Unlike Instagram's 7.5% creator payout, Plotaverse reinvests a significant portion of ad revenue back into artists. Key Quote: “I've designed the profile pages to be like your website… you dictate what goes first.” Unexpected Uses of Plotaverse (12:14 - 13:34) Troy shares surprising stories of Plotaverse's impact, from helping people in hospitals combat depression to powering visuals at electronic music shows. Highlight: “People would say, ‘I was in bed for months and literally addicted to your app… it saved my life.'” Debunking AI Misconceptions (15:39 - 18:34) Addressing fears that AI makes art “too easy,” Troy emphasizes the skill of prompting and the collaborative nature of AI creation. He's working to make AI tools more affordable and accessible, including open-source models. Jason's Insight: “Even the prompt… that should be monetized.” The Next Decade of Art (20:11 - 23:19) Troy predicts that AI will democratize filmmaking, enabling creators to produce feature films from their ideas without Hollywood budgets. Dynamic digital displays will transform static art into moving, mood-setting pieces for homes and galleries. Vision: “Things don't have to be stationary anymore… it's a combination of augmented reality and screens.” Data Visualization and Beyond (23:19 - 25:51) Jason highlights innovative uses of digital art, like oceanographic data visualizations, and Troy agrees that Plotaverse can amplify such work. The platform supports photographers, videographers, and data artists alike, fostering a global, organic creative community. Troy's Take: “Art has always been about what it makes you feel… now it can move.” Getting Started with Plotaverse (26:25 - 29:26) Troy encourages new users to download the app, explore crisp, uncompressed imagery, and follow inspiring artists.

Ich zitiere den Ausstellungstext der Kunsthalle München: "Die Kunsthalle München zeigt die erste große Retrospektive des niederländischen Designerduos Viktor&Rolf in Deutschland. Mit atemberaubender Virtuosität loten Viktor Horsting und Rolf Snoeren seit über 30 Jahren immer wieder die Grenzen zwischen Couture und Kunst aus. Ihre Meisterwerke wurden von Künstler:innen wie Madonna, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat und Cardi B getragen sowie in Ballettproduktionen und in einer Oper, unter Regie von Robert Wilson, in Szene gesetzt. Rund 100 der kühnsten Stücke des ebenso visionären wie leidenschaftlichen Duos werden nun in einer spektakulären Inszenierung erlebbar gemacht. Viele Kreationen sind zum ersten Mal ausgestellt – zusammen mit zahlreichen Videos, Skizzen und handgefertigten Porzellanpuppen, die mit den ikonischen Kreationen der Designer gekleidet sind, sowie mit Werken von renommierten Foto-Künstler:innen wie Andreas Gursky, Ellen von Unwerth oder Herb Ritts." spannend wars! Und wenn man das dann noch mit einem Fashion Expert besuchen und beplaudern darf, ist das ein besonderer Moment - auch wenn wir nach der Ausstellung und anschließendem Messe Standaufbau bei dem ABC Salon München völlig erledigt waren.

Back in the mid-1990s, our free spirited Drew Barrymore was going through what's been called her “taking off her clothes phase”. The ultimate example of this would be her stunning Playboy pictorial for the magazine's January 1995 issue. We're chatting about this era of freedom & comfort in her skin, the gorgeous nude photos of her taken by Ellen von Unwerth, and what Drew's had to say about all this in more recent years!

Join BP, Coop and Justin as we review One Hour Photo, the 2002 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Mark Romanek and starring Robin Williams, Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan, Gary Cole, and Eriq La Salle. The film stars Williams as a photo technician who develops an unhealthy obsession with a family to whom he has long provided services. The film premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, was given a limited release on August 21, 2002, and was given a wider release on September 13. One Hour Photo received positive reviews from film critics, including praise for Williams's against-type performance, which earned him the Saturn Award for Best Actor. The film was also a commercial success, grossing $52.2 million against a $12 million budget.

However, early in the process, Romanek was allegedly pressured by the studio to hire a "real composer" and Reznor was dropped from the production. Some of the music Reznor created for the film evolved into material found on the Nine Inch Nails EP Still. In accordance with the photography-themed movie, the names of several characters are drawn from actual photographers: Sy's assistant at the Savmart, Yoshi Araki (named for Nobuyoshi Araki), manager Bill Owens (Bill Owens); Det. Van Der Zee (James Van Der Zee); Det. Outerbridge (Paul Outerbridge); Maya Burson (Nancy Burson); and Savmart customers Mrs. von Unwerth (Ellen von Unwerth) and Mr. Siskind (Aaron Siskind). In one of the voice-over pieces Sy can be heard to say, "They actually believe that any idiot that attends a two-day seminar can master the art of making beautiful prints in less than an hour. But of course, like most things, there's far more to it than meets the eye." Williams prepared for the role by training for two and-a-half days in a Southern California photo development lab. In an interview, Romanek said that he was inspired to create this movie by films from the 1970s about "lonely men", notably Taxi Driver (1976). In the DVD commentary, Romanek says that Jack Nicholson was first approached to play the lead character. Nicholson turned down the role reportedly because he thought the character was too similar to the role he played in The Shining (1980). #onehourphoto #mariahcarey #obsessed #thriller #judgejudy #ratings #lawandordersvu #lawandorder #screamqueens #review #retrospective #horror #movie #death #horrorfilm #splatter #deathscene #blood #gore #scarymovie #horror #completeguidetohorror #horrormovie #scary #creepy #graphic #trivia #robinwilliams

As its editor-in-chief, he built a respected masthead that featured top editorial talents like world-famous photographers Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen von Unwerth, Art Streiber and Ruven Afanodor, as well as fashion authority Kate Betts (former editor of Harper's Bazaar and Time Design & Style); Time magazine columnist Joel Stein; New York Times contributors Ben Widdicombe, Frank DeCaro and Stuart Elliot; and Allure senior editor Kristin Perrotta as contributors. Working with these creative forces, he infused the magazine's pages with elegant and timeless features, including recreations of French Impressionist paintings at the celebrated Hotel Plaza Athénée Paris; homages to Christian Dior and Babe Paley; and a cover shoot with actress Julianna Margulies by Demarchelier at the Hotel du Cap in the Côte d'Azur. The strategy successfully transitioned Watch from a publication to a brand encompassing print, television, online, video and social media. The pivot to luxury editorial also helped attract labels such as Tom Ford, YSL, Giorgio Armani, Dior, Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino, Hugo Boss, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Peninsula hotels as advertisers. Before CBS, Murphy worked as a reporter at Mediaweek, where he covered the nation's top 50 markets. He began as a feature writer with Knight Ridder newspapers. In 2010, Murphy was inducted into the Florida Atlantic University Alumni Hall of Fame. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bella-mag/support

Keep us on the air please. Even $1 helps. https://paypal.me/pools/c/8uXWKqnLTI   Kylie Minogue is the fifth studio album to be recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was released in the United Kingdom on 19 September 1994 by Deconstruction, and in Australia by Mushroom Records. After leaving Pete Waterman Entertainment, Minogue wanted to establish credibility for herself and signed with independent label Deconstruction in early 1993. Minogue became involved with a diverse group of collaborators in order to experiment with different sounds. After unsuccessful sessions with Saint Etienne and The Rapino Brothers, Minogue went on to collaborate with new producers including Brothers in Rhythm, M People, Farley & Heller, and Jimmy Harry. Musically, Kylie Minogue is a dance-pop album that contains elements of electronic dance, R&B and adult contemporary music. Minogue showcases her voice range in the midtempo tracks, with lyrics about love, seduction, womanhood, and enjoyment of life. Music critics praised the production and Minogue's vocals, deeming it the start of a new phase of her career. It experienced moderate success worldwide, peaked in the top 5 in the United Kingdom and Australia, and was certified gold in both countries. The album also attaining top 40 positions in Sweden, Switzerland, and Scotland. Minogue received three nominations at the ARIA Music Awards of 1995 as a result of her work on Kylie Minogue, winning Best Video for "Put Yourself In My Place". To promote the album, a limited coffee-table book shot by Ellen von Unwerth was released to highfliers. Three singles were released—"Confide in Me", "Put Yourself in My Place", and "Where Is the Feeling?"—all of which peaked inside the top 20 in the UK, while the former two also reached top 20 in Australia. The promotional process was delayed several times due to highly popular film projects that Minogue was involved with during the time. The album was re-issued in Europe in 2018, when it returned to the UK Albums Chart and Scottish Albums Chart.

Der Schauspieler über die Kampagne “Los für Lesbos”! Durch den Brand des Flüchtlingslagers Moria auf Lesbos ist das Unvorstellbare passiert: Die ohnehin katastrophalen Umstände, unter denen die Menschen dort ausharren, haben sich weiter verschlimmert. Die Not-Unterkünfte im neuen Camp sind nicht winterfest, es gibt zu wenig Nahrungsmittel, keine ausreichende medizinische Versorgung. Darüber und über die Hilfskampagne “Los für Lesbos” spricht der Schauspieler Trystan Pütter im Achten Tag. Wie ist das, wenn man aus so einem Ort zurückkehrt nach Deutschland? Wie fühlt man sich angesichts dieser himmelhohen Ungerechtigkeiten? Zweifelt man da nicht am Großen und Ganzen? Und was macht ihm Hoffnung? Über all das und mehr spricht Trystan Pütter im Gespräch mit Alev Doğan.Für die Initiative “Los für Lesbos” stellen 25 Personen - darunter Elyas M’Barek, Diane Kruger, David Alaba, Jürgen Klopp, Daniel Craig und Ellen von Unwerth - persönliche Objekte zur Verfügung, die man gewinnen kann.

Creative director and stylist Sascha Lilic is a fashion month’s fixture. His distinctive look, of a beret and monocle, always makes him easy to spot at a show. You can also always count on Sascha to give you a great sound bite about what he thinks of a presentation, and it’s often something that will make you laugh out loud or blush. Maybe it was all those years working alongside his mentor, the iconic photographer Helmut Newton, who was also known not to mince words, that formed Sascha’s talent for finding the perfect bon mots. But to be fair, Sascha, who was born in Yugoslavia and grew up in Germany, was always fascinated by the world of fashion and its fundamental transformational properties. By the tender age of 16, he was already working as a hairdresser and make-up artist, before he finally got his first break as a stylist. And once he did, he never looked back. Sascha became the fashion & creative director of influential 90s era SPOON magazine before moving on to become the editor-in-chief of ABOVE magazine, which Sascha launched in 2004 and sold for a pretty penny right at the height of excess before the global recession of 2008. And since then, he has been using his talents on all sorts of different fashion fronts, as a stylist, fashion consultant, creative director...you name it...if it has to do with fashion and creativity, Sascha is your man. A claim that is backed up by the laundry list of publications, photographers, and celebrities he has worked with. Which include, but not limited to Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Interview, V Man, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Glamour, LʼOfficiel, and Grazia. And besides his longtime collaboration with Newton, Sascha has also teamed up with other leading photographers like Ellen von Unwerth, Norman Jean Roy, and William Klein...and I could go on. His visual eye has transformed everyone from Lana del Rey, Jessica Chastain, Sienna Miller, Rihanna, Lily James, Diane Kruger, Keira Knightley, Lea Seydoux and I could go on and on. So let’s just say that Sascha has quite a lot of great fashion stories to tell. Which is why I wanted to jump on a zoom call with him for this podcast. To tell us all about his extraordinary life, lived to the fullest, in fashion.

Klimawandel, Fridays for Future und der Versuch eines Klimapakets seitens der Bundesregierung. Die Erderwärmung ist in aller Munde und eines der großen politischen Themen der Zukunft. Immer mit im Gespräch: die Mobilitätswende. Aber wie kann die aussehen? Nur noch Fahrräder und E-Roller? Straßenbahnen und Züge in jedes Dorf? Oder doch die mittlerweile schon fast als Allheilmittel gehandelte Brennstoffzelle? Lara-Lena Gödde spricht in dieser Folge des TUCscicast mit Prof. Dr. Thomas von Unwerth von der Professur Alternative Fahrzeugantriebe der TU Chemnitz. Gemeinsam wollen sie klären, wie eine Brennstoffzelle überhaupt funktioniert, ob der Wasserstoff dafür wirklich so klimafreundlich ist und vielleicht finden wir ja auch heraus, wie wir uns in Zukunft fortbewegen?

#82 I used to wish for my problems to go away. I dreamed of nirvana and this carefree existence.  I learned that problems never really went away and that is part of being human. What did change though was my relationship to problems and how I handled them. It helped me bring new meaning to things when the chips were down. In this podcast, I share a bit of my journey when things were pretty tough, and why I'm so grateful for that period in my life. Enjoy!

If you're enjoying this content and you want to find out more and join me and come further down the rabbit hole, make sure you head back to the guylawrence.com.au. Awesome guys. Enjoy the show. Guy:                  Welcome to the guidelines podcast. I'm your host Guy Lawrence. After building a successful health company and the number one podcast, I decided to do something deemed a little crazy. I let it go, set a new destination called the unknown and use my heart as comfort. Each week I sit down with great minds as we explore topics beyond conventional health, wealth and wisdom to inspire and ignite that passion. Within us all to create the life we truly want. So my question to you is, are you ready to let it in? Guy:                  Hey rockstars. Thanks for tuning into my podcast and your host Guy Lawrence and really appreciate you giving me your time today. And I thoroughly enjoyed doing the solo episode the other week. So I thought I would do another one for you today and 'cuz had a good response and it's good sometimes to try and express things, learnings, stories, teachings, you know, from my own experience and be able to pass on and hopefully inspire you who is listening on the other end to this. And I wanted to talk a little bit about context today and revealing the diamond within us 'cuz I found myself the other week I was at a friend's house and you know, we were just having great conversations, just run a workshop, actually let it in. And we found ourselves talking about the past and different times and different difficulties. And, and I was telling her some of the things that I, uh, where I was at, uh, at some stage. Guy:                  'Cuz if you hadn't been to my workshop, uh, you know, I'll share, I share a few stories about my past. But, uh, there was a point in my life, uh, when I was first in Sydney, this was gone back or 2005, six, seven, 2008 all sort of through this period where I was trading the stock markets. And, um, I had this connotation in my head that I, when I become rich, uh, I will then be happy and then I can look, pursue my dreams and do what I love. And I kind of, I kind of wonder where my head thinking was looking back now. But ultimately, um, I was caught up in it and I really, um, was determined to, um, make, make some sort of myself. I think a lot of my twenties and my teenage years and, and even going into my early thirties, when I immigrated, I locked up. Guy:                  I lacked a lot of self belief in, in about myself and who I was. And, um, and I just couldn't sell. I couldn't, I couldn't just get it going. And I kinda thought enough was enough and I ended up borrowing some money, which wasn't the smartest of ideas, but I was determined at the time 'cuz then I never really was that good with money or never had a lot of money and I borrowed some money to trade the stock market and I thought I'm, you know, I'll be cautious, I'll do this and make it work. And at the same time I, um, I became a fitness trainer and that's my, my journey before 180 nutrition. I was working in a university, in Sydney and it was great. I landed this great job and as you know, I got to knew hundreds of awesome people and the university was like a village and because I was on such, I was so committed to the stock market, to make it work. Guy:                  Sometimes I'd find myself trading, you know, um, late at night, you know, and then just trying to find it, make it work. I would trade to like midnight, one in the morning cause I was on the American markets on my computer. And then I had, uh, myself getting up at five, uh, to go to work to the city to then train clients. And I was even trying to the other way round. But I'd get up at three in the morning, sometimes no joke and then, um, trade for a couple of hours and then go into work. Like I try, I was trying all these different things and I was, I was all in. I mean this cost me friendships, this cost me relationships. It cost me. I think looking back there was a lot of sacrifices and, and a lot of unhappiness come from that. And I was telling my friend as well that I had this push bike and I would say five, five days, it was my only former transport. Guy:                  I mean I couldn't afford a car. I didn't have my motor bike at this point. And the only way I would do it was get around on this push bike. Um, I didn't even do my shopping on this push bike. You know, take my backpack and fill up my, my food and, and cycle to the shops. And I was living in South Koji at the time and uh, I was in shared accommodation but, and I would cycle into the city every single day and it's pretty bloody hillier as well, coming out of, uh, Koji, um, into and getting into down to central Sydney. And I used to take me about half hour each way and I was doing this five days a week there and back. And then I was running classes, uh, fitness classes, boxing, TRX and spin with my forties. And I was doing them as well. So I was getting really, really fit at the time. Guy:                  But that was all I knew. So, so there was this, I've, I was two years in, I was finding myself racking up all this debt cause I couldn't get the trade into work even. I mean, looking back, there were so many mistakes I did, you know, never treated with borrowed money, money, can't afford to lose and affects your psychology in a big way. And I just felt myself digging this hole deeper and deeper and deeper. And I was like, how the hell am I going to get out of this? I just, and it was, and I was getting depressed and I remember, like I said, I would, I would trade to 12 one o'clock in the morning, I'd get up at 5:00 AM and in the winter, you know, regardless, it was like sometimes it was raining sideways and this might be the fourth day. And I've already racked up over 150 ks and I pushed back that week. Guy:                  I've already done taking multiple spin classes and boxing and I was coming, you know, and I'd be exhausted and my body would be so stiff yet I had to get the, I had to, I had to cycle into work. Like there was no, um, there was no getting out of it. And I remember, you know, it'd be freezing cold and I would just have to suck it up. I'd get wet and cycle for half hour. And by the time I got into the city, quarter of six in the morning or whatever it was, you know, I'd be soaking wet and you know, I jumped in a hot shower and then thing, next thing you know, I was trained in a client and, and there was no escape and this was raw and real. And I was earning just enough money to pay the rent and feed myself. Guy:                  Literally that was it. And I couldn't see a way out. I just couldn't see a way out. And it was getting harder and harder. And I remember like, I was just getting to this point and I remember I'll never forget sitting down. Um, I was part of the Surf Club as well at the time back in Koji. And I remember sitting down one day on patrol with a guy that I knew and he was similar age to me. We were in, you know, early thirties and he pulled up in his BMW, I think he worked in law and he sat there and he'd go, and he was sitting there thinking, wow, isn't life great? You know, he said, now, you know, we know what we want, we know where we go in. We cashed up and I said, life's just isn't just a great place to be. You know, and I remember sitting there feeling so small, so just so worth lot. Guy:                  Um, and I'm just speaking from the heart year and I didn't even know how to express this at the time and thinking, oh my God, here I am in debt. I don't know what I'm doing. I've got a push bike that's managing just to hold itself together. I can barely pay my rent, my food, and I'm trading the whole, I can't get out of this debt. And it was just sucked. It really sucked. And the only thing I could do was keep going. I could feel the only thing I could do was keep going. And I've shared this story with you because many years later, you know, my life's very different now. Like, uh, you know, not a few years later, 180 nutrition was born and, and, and, uh, you know, where we created a natural supplement and natural protein. And, and that went on and did well. And within three and a half years, it was turning over millions of dollars. Guy:                  And it was, you know, it was just this really random transition. And, but at the time when I was on that push bike, I started listening to all the self help stuff I could muster myself. I listened to Tony Robbins cycling into work. I would, I would listen to Deepak Chopra, I would listen to echo tol, I'd listen to Wayne Dyer. Um, and I started to find, I started to let go of my, there were many others incidences and I won't go into it today. I'll keep referring to the episode, but I really started to let go and, and find, except where I was at. And, and it was from that acceptance. And then I started to change lanes, if you like, I could start to see light at the end of the tunnel. And I just kept going. I like, my ships were burnt, this was my situation and I had to accept it. Guy:                  And even though, you know, for few years, my, my situation didn't change. Initially I changed and I could feel it and I could feel myself changing within. And that energy and that cultivation started to just grow and grow. And, and it really taught me to be grateful for many things. And that's where my first gratitude practice really started to come back into kind of come and take true meaning. And it started to reveal the diamond within me, like the, the true self. And those years, I look back now and I'm forever grateful for them. And I remember having the conversation saying that there was something rural, unreal about those years for me. And I, I learned to enjoy the rain being soaking wet where I found myself literally laughing and smiling. I'd done a 12 hour shift at the university and I'd come out, it'd be nine o'clock at night, they'd be pissing down the rain. Guy:                  It would be cold. And I've just like game on, you know, and I could start to really embrace the, the, the wrongness of the elements and everything. And I would look at people at the bus stop and sitting on the bus and kind of looked like in this time, warped, I don't know, Coma, you know? Uh, and I was like, wow, this is an hour. I was like breathing in life. The essence of it, it's really a, I'm sure it's hard to explain sometimes, but that's really felt like an, and then I started to find the joy in, in the, in even the simplest things. And it taught me so much. And I think without that experience, if the, the good things that have come along later and since, um, if I hadn't had that, I wouldn't have had context. I wouldn't have had the, the ability to look at things that when they do come now in a different way with perspective and I guess wisdom from some of the things that have happened in my life because I'm sure you agree. Guy:                  We all have fears. We all have things that can be difficult. We all have it tough and some have a tougher than others, but ultimately it's still as still owe bodies. We all feel fear the same way. We all feel lack the same where we all feel self Unwerth the same way. It's just our circumstances are different triggering those emotions and feelings that are happening for us. And I wonder to put this, share the story with you today because I wanted to know, let you know that it's this, how can I say it? There's so much, there's so many lessons to be learned. There are so many things and if we can change the meaning behind the stories that are going on within our minds, the emotions and the feelings and what's happening and we can start to shift that and put a different meaning to it or in the same situation. Guy:                  I think that's where true transformation can start to lie. That's where true change can start to lie. And that's when I really started to investigate in the mind, body and the self and why I'm so passionate about this work today and why I'm so passionate about let it in and run in retreats and running workshops. And I have a podcast, like I can't tell you how much energy it takes goes just to create podcasts week after week, month after month, and put this free content out there for you. But, but from all lists, you know, I believe in the law of reciprocity, like by that, by the fact of sharing and an open and being able to share the things I learned hopefully will inspire you into action and inspire you to start to take change. And maybe start to realize that there's context and you can create different meaning from the situations that we you're in or I'm in or whatever that might be. Guy:                  And what really amazed me is that once you look at this work, now I realize that I'd been thinking a certain way, feeling a certain way, seeing the world a certain way for so long. And I've trained my nervous system to behave a certain way or the autonomic nervous system. And without getting too technical, you know, you can retrain that and you can start to, and, and the, the nervous system and the f is the filter between how you perceive the world. And the directly, the signals you send your body. And this is why I get so excited and I'm recording this. We will actually close to Bordeaux August retreats, which looked to be bought, sold out, which is phenomenal. And when we start to dive in deeper with this work where we're able to get people to really tap in to that nervous system and start to send it a different signal, which is amazing, which sends the body a different signal and we can start to release quite a lot of emotional memory that the body holds. Guy:                  Like it's fascinating stuff. And then from that we start to clean house. We started cleaning the body, you know, we create a bit of chaos in there. We're pulling the furniture apart, we moving things around with Dustin with throwing things out we don't want anymore. And within that chaos we can then start to put it all back together. But you know, it's a spring clean. It's a very different fields, very different environment. We create space within us to let in the new to layer in the things that we want to move toward. And it's brilliant. And for me now it's like an honor because I learned this work and it's, it's pivotal and it's made such an impact on my life and why I'm so passionate about it. And now I get to help other people that want to learn this stuff. I mean, it's incredible. Guy:                  Once you start delving in, if you listen to my podcasts on a regular basis, you probably, you know, been listening to the guys I've had talking about quantum physics and how we connect beyond space and time and energetically we can start to move these things around and influence that nervous system. I mean within my leaded in membership, the online stuff, we meet up on zoom and I'm teaching people how to connect and we're having, you know, we're having experiences from meditation, from people in their own living room that might take people years to experience that. And it's just a beautiful thing. And I shared all with this with you because no matter where you're at, that is just your current situation. Reality is, doesn't always have to be like that. And I truly firmly believe if you want to create true transformation and change in your life, then this work learning and understanding this work will have impact to help you navigate that direction. Guy:                  But like anything that we want in life, it doesn't come easy. It takes constant consistent work. You know, it's just one step at a time, day by day, week by week, you chip away, you learn in to create change. We have to learn new skills, we have to learn new things and we have to start letting go over the things that don't serve us anymore. And for me, or taking your back all the way back to that story, for me to walk away from that stock trading was huge, you know, at the time. But I was, I was willing to let it go. I'd put three years into it and I realized I wasn't going to succeed at it. I was going to fail. And for a guy that was really hard and to walk away 30 grand down and I'd never even seen 30 grand as well and just accepted. Guy:                  But by me letting go, something that I knew wasn't right because it wasn't aligned with my heart in my head. I've been telling myself so many things, but I wasn't aligned in my heart. And it wasn't until my heart and my head were congruent until they were aligned. Was I able to start moving forward in the world and carving my future off for the way I wanted it to go. You know? And it didn't get easier. It still doesn't get easier to this day. But the tools that I've learned and the awareness I have around it, I've developed. So I don't even wish my problems away anymore. All I, all I understand now is that I'm always going to have problems. I'm always going to have challenges. And it's how I equip myself to deal with them. And it's teachable and it's doable. And if you're listening to this and you're sitting on the fence and you're thinking, should I ever go with this and or what do I do? Guy:                  Ask yourself this. Where will you be six months from now, one year from now, two years from now? If you continue doing the same things that you're doing now, they might be some great things. And you know, who am I to judge? I don't know. But I asked myself that and it keeps me sharp and it keeps me honest and it keeps me willing to try new things and lean in and step into the unknown. So that's what context does. So this leaving message, partly message for you is, you know, whatever's going on in your life, what can you learn from it? How can you apply different meaning to it? And how can you get excited by your future and you know it's gonna be okay. Cause there's always worked out. It always has. It always will. It has for me. But I think the key is, is this to start tapping into that heart space more and allowing that and literally start to let it in. Guy:                  You know, if you want to learn more about what I'm doing, if you want to experience some of the things I'm talking about, I want to do it. I got plenty going on. We've got the retreats. Um, we've got, uh, the online program stuff. And don't even let the online programs stuff put you off guys. Trust me. You will really start to feel it in a, it's a, it's pretty incredible. I'm very proud of it. And uh, yeah, I got the workshops as well. So it's all there. And if it's the first time you ever listening to anything and you haven't even tried it yet, um, gives the, um, the free meditation I give away GL, start teaching your tap into the heart. It's the best. It's a great start. Get in the habit of that. Um, and that's all back@guylawrence.com. Dot. EU. Check it all out. Guy:                  Take action. You know, if you're listening to this now, pause, grab the free meditation. Like take action. Like philosophy will only get you so far. You have to start taking the steps, but Rome wasn't built in a day. Anyway, let me know what you think of this podcast. Uh, hit me up on Instagram. Guy Hates Lawrence. Uh, if you're enjoying the solar podcast, I really appreciate it cause uh, I like I doing this, my eyes are closed right now. I hold my awareness in my chest and my heart as I speak and just allow it to come out and it's Kinda cool. Um, yeah. So hope you enjoyed. Uh, I've got some awesome guests coming up soon as always, and if we're enjoying the show, yeah, let me know. Share it, whatever it is, Guy:                  how help you get it out there. Always greatly appreciated. Anyway, let's love from me. Have an awesome week and I'll speak to you soon.

Yesterday was our first day back from a 9-day working vacation in France and Germany and I've got to tell you, I still haven't fully readjusted to East Coast time, but I wanted to talk a little about the trip while it was still fresh in my mind. I spent the bulk of the day yesterday taking a first pass at photos and making notes about the some of the experiences we had and how I would like to see them affecting me moving forward. Overall, I came back incredibly inspired, both in terms of conversations I'd like to record and some new directions and techniques I would like to explore in my own work, both photographically and in my paintings.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Pocket Casts | Overcast | RSSLegendary conflict photojournalist Don McCullin has released a beautiful new book called The Landscape.Designed in the USSR: 1950-1989 is a terrific look into the design of everyday life in the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War, from toys to propaganda.The current issue of Egoïste magazine — volume 11, number 18 — features an absolutely gorgeous photo essay of Jessica Chastain by Ellen von Unwerth.

Ellen von Unwerth är unik. Hon är nämligen en av få kvinnor som etablerat sig som en av världens främsta modefotografer, ett yrke där framförallt män har gjort sig ett namn. Trots att Ellen von Unwerths foton ofta är sina sexiga, och inte sällan uppfattas som provokativa, finns där alltid en värme och lekfullhet Hon är känd för att få framgångsrika och vackra kvinnor, som Claudia Schiffer, Madonna, Naomi Cambell, Rihanna och Kate Moss, att slappna av, och ha kul framför hennes kamera. Plåtningarna beskrivs ofta som en fest med hög musik och mycket folk. Men bakom den lekfulla fasaden döljer sig ett superproffs, som själv varit fotomodell. I veckans Stil samtalar Susanne Ljung med Ellen von Unwerth. Det kommer handla om den kvinnliga blicken, metoo och om hur mobiltelefonerna har förändrat inställningen till modefotografi, bland annat.

Guests are interviewed on their experiences in both Fashion and Beauty and offer the Beauty Fashion and War audience guidance, wisdom and candor. EP 33: Victoria Hunter (the Thunder from Down Under) and Larry Raspanti, deliver a profound talk on what it takes to run a successful Hair Salon in the Jungle known as New York City. Equipped with over 40 years of combined expertise, these 2 Entrepreneurs share their Social Media Strategies and how Bob Marley was a True Rasta-Man! What does it take to make a positive impact in the world of Beauty and Fashion? Join us as Victoria Hunter and Larry Raspanti shares their Entrepreneurial mindset and an inside glance at their journey to becoming successful Entrepreneurs in the world of Beauty, Fashion and War! [shadowbox] It’s my pleasure to introduce 2 seasoned professionals in the world of Hair Styling, Color, Hair Painting and Entrepreneurship. Their New York City based Salon, ‘The Whittemore-House’ has been featured in almost every major metropolitan magazine to include Time, NY Daily News, Elle, Salon Today, Allure and GQ to name a few. [/shadowbox] Victoria Hunter - Bio Victoria Hunter approaches hair color with the discerning eye of a fine artist. As a pioneer of the “hair painting” genre, Hunter studies every head of hair like a 3 Dimensional canvas – intuitively deciding where to place the perfect pop of auburn or unexpected streak of dusty lavender. While in Hunter’s chair, no creative vision is off limits; over the course of her career, she has made a name for herself as the gold standard of hair color for countless models, cool girls, editors, stylists and celebrities and has become the go-to colorist for famed stylist Guido Palau. A native of Queensland, Australia, Hunter honed her skills in Melbourne, London and Hong Kong before arriving in New York to serve as the color director of Bumble and bumble. In 2007, she achieved widespread recognition for her innovative hair painting method as the first ever recipient of the Hair and Beauty Award at the Colour Secrets Gala in Frankfurt. Two years later, Hunter left Bumble and bumble to open Whittemore House Salon with partner Larry Raspanti. Located in the bucolic setting of a tree-lined street in the West Village, Whittemore House Salon serves as a hub for in-the-know New Yorkers (and beyond). On an average day at Whittemore, one might witness Hunter creating an army of muted pastel wigs for the recent Marc Jacobs Fall 2014 fashion show while simultaneously transforming the model of the moment. Over the course of her career, Hunter has collaborated with some of the most iconic photographers of our time, including Steven Klein, Steven Meisel, Ellen von Unwerth, Mert and Marcus, Inez and Vinoodh, David LaChapelle, and David Sims. Her work has been featured in countless editorials, including American Vogue, Italian Vogue, Numero, ELLE, W, i-D and Interview magazines, to name a few. As one of the most in-demand visionaries in the fashion industry, she has created looks for a laundry list of iconic advertising campaigns, from Dolce & Gabbana to Lanvin to Alexander McQueen. Most recently, Hunter’s work can be seen in campaigns for Prada, Lanvin, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. This past spring, she teamed up with Steven Meisel to create three cover stories for Italian Vogue. Hunter maintains an ardent passion for her signature hair painting method and continues to lead master classes on the technique around the world, including her main hub of Whittemore House Salon in New York. She believes there is no one “rule” to creating the perfect color, and instead works with stylists to develop an eye for color and tone, texture and style. As a result, the signature of Whittemore House—and of Hunter—is a bespoke look that is at once as effortless and seamless as it is unique. Larry Raspanti - Bio Larry Raspanti has always questioned traditional assumptions about hair and the application of color, which led him to the art of hair painting. Over the years, Larry has developed this modern way of coloring hair, bringing it from its infancy to the elevated craft it is today. He is an authority on men’s fashion and grooming, and is often backstage at fashion events and runways shows. As a result Larry has traveled the world extensively. He approaches hair with the perspective of an architect, deconstructing its three dimensionality, which he expresses both in cut and color. His inherent design capabilities have influenced his highly intuitive cutting techniques. A natural entrepreneur, he opened Whittemore House with Victoria Hunter in 2009.
